I just brought in a feral, deaf cat that I had previously TNR'd. I have 5 other indoor cats. They're pretty jealous for my attention as it is. As of now, I have her closed away in my daughter's room. She's happy to see me when I come in the room, but is very nervous still. I can pet her and she purrs. She won't let me hold her and won't come onto the bed (there is a mirror on the opposite wall that freaks her out when she gets up there). It's been a month. Sometimes I sleep in there on the floor, so she can get used to me. I don't know how to introduce her to my huge, jealous house cats. How long is too long to keep her in the bedroom? How in the world do I let her out of the room without disaster? How do I introduce her to the other cats? I can't comfort or communicate with her in anyway with my voice, I've never dealt with a deaf (feral) cat. She's getting friendlier by the day. I still think this is better than her being outside. Ohio winters suck on top of her being ultra vulnerable.
